Hello world!

I intend to put my jewellery-making posts in this here space. The current plan is to make myself a nice beady header image (hopefully with the help of my scanner), tidy up my posts on the pieces I have made already, and continue from there.

Image-capturing technology willing, I would like to do some start-to-finish following of some designs. I’m a beginner (started all this in June), so there will be a certain amount of reinventing the wheel, but it’s the kind of thing I find really helpful, so I would like to add to the step-by-step tutorials available.

I am interested in… *deep breath*

wire sculpture

wire-wrapped jewellery

beading on thread

semi-precious stones

wooden, shell and bone beads

seed bead designs

beading on tigertail and memory wire

micro-macrame

Everything else I can get my hands on!

Sadly, lampwork is completely out of my reach at the moment, but it looks fascinating.
